Give
Giving is an act of worship, not a transaction. Here's where we stand.
Where We Are
We're working toward 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Our application is in progress.
Until that status is granted, we are not processing donations online. Any gifts received at this stage are not tax-deductible. We want to be upfront about that.
If you'd like to support the mission of Local Faith, please contact us directly. We'll have a conversation about how to help.
What's Coming
Once 501(c)(3) status is granted, we plan to offer simple, transparent online giving. Here's what that will look like:
- Tax-deductible receipts. Every gift documented and receipted.
- Transparent reporting. We'll publish how funds are used.
- No pressure. One-time gifts with optional recurring. No guilt. No thermometers. No countdown clocks.
- Fiscal sponsorship. Donors will be able to designate gifts to specific groups in the network.
Our Posture on Giving
We will never use guilt, pressure, or urgency to motivate giving. Giving flows from a heart changed by grace. It's between you and the Lord.
We will never use prosperity language. We will never imply that God rewards financial gifts with material blessings. That's not the gospel.
We will be transparent about every dollar received and every dollar spent. That's a promise.
